I like Mark; and I respect Mark's photographic knowledge and his photography. However - his harping along the lines of, "A long long time ago Leica gear became an unaffordable waste to discuss on >> the lug as soon as Cosina made bodies and lenses cheaper and earlier to >> buy >> and sell and buy and sell." wears very thin when he shoots Nikon and has not yet owned or used a serious Leica Digital; while contrary to his claims LUG members regularly, buy, use, discuss, post photographs from each iteration of serious Leica digital bodies; and including the newest lenses. This is not a critique of Mark Rabiner, his beautiful photography; or his vast photographic knowledge. It is a critique of one particular post by Mark; which represents a series of similar remarks made over time.
